Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The Swine flu is killing people near you. Here's how it will change your life and how some people are already preparing for the possible pandemic of the century (20 to 40 million or more may die): 1. This morning I called my doctor; got a prescription for " Tamiflu " (2 tablets per day taken for 5 days at the first onset of flu symptoms). This is not a cure or vaccine. It's just the only thing there is. 2. At he pharmacy I purchased two N-95 face masks for $3.75 each and surgical masks for 40 cents each and presented my prescription for Tamiflu. The pharmacy was out. The pharmacist contacted other pharmacies; they were out. There is a shortage of Tamiflu. He found some at a wholesaler. 3. Flu spread across Mexico to the US last week in 6 days. 4. If this follows the history of the 1918 pandemic we can expect the following: A. Worldwide major economic depression B. Vast unemployment for many months C. Real estate market collapse; mortgages default; bankruptcies D. Travel, transportation, hotel, city buses, airlines shut down for maybe a year. E. Insurance companies become financially unsound. F. Restaurants, theaters, sporting events, public gatherings shut down for maybe a year G. High rise buildings (office and residential) become undesirable because the ventilation system spreads the virus. H. Oil and commodity markets nose dive because of lessening economic activity. I. Bonds decline as China and others sell US bond hordes to stabilize and rebuild their economies. J. Bank closings as in the great depression; also employees are sick or do not want to come into contact with the public. Who is going to refill the cash machines? K. An early run on gold coins as people around the world distrust governments and want to protect themselves against currency collapse. L. Runs on food (especially freeze dried, nitrogen packed, and MRE's-meal ready to eat) drugs, water, energy supplies, safety supplies (including gun and ammo), hand soap disinfectant, " Tamiflu " medicine, vegetarian food (avoid chicken, pork, and other animal products). You need at least a years supply of everything including gold or cash to pay everything. M. Real estate, farms, and other property will become bargains. N. Before the depression, put options may help to protect your stock market gains. O. Dividend stocks in companies with minimal exposure to recession will do better than others. P. The stock market will crash. Q. Sanofi-Pasteur is testing a vaccine. If successful, only a few million doses will be produced in time. Do you think politicians will let you be one of the lucky ones--or will it go to their friends? R. There will be a run on old style flu vaccine--just in case it might work. S. People will move out of cities and into the country and mountains to reduce contact with other people. Plan now where you plan to go. Do you really think the armed guards at highway turnoff will let you in? They won't want money; they just want to keep you and others away to keep their families safe. T. High employee absenteeism because of death, illness, or staying away from people. U. Expect not to be able to buy anything for a year. Stock up now. 5. some effective preventatives: wash your hands thoroughly several times a day take Sambucol(an all-natural preventative from Israel---fortunately not widely known but even so can be difficult to buy). Available at most health food stores and many drugstores. Use Xlear nasal wash, which contains xylitol, and which coats the nasal passages with a protective film, preventing the entry of the flu virus. Get from 1-800-601-0688 6. Start taking Olive Leaf extract (from health food stores) as antiviral. I take it every day during the winter. 7. When face masks are out of stock at drug stores, try grocery pharmacies 9.*Sanitize -- i.e. Wash Your Hands Frequently. H*and-washing with soap and water for around 20 seconds is the single best thing you can do (if you're going to go out into the world and interact with other human beings). The CDC estimates that 80 percent of all infections are spread by hands. If you can't wash your hands regularly, try hand-sanitizers with 60 percent alcohol content. 10*. Avoid -- i.e. Engage in " Social Distancing. " Reduce *unnecessary social contact, stay away from crowds, and avoid people if you're sick or if you're concerned that they may be infected. It may not be especially practical when you have to go to, say, work, but experts believe it's worth repeating: Isolation and avoidance reduce your chances of getting infected or infecting others. 99 percent of commuters suffer at least one cold per winter. By contrast, 58 percent of people who work from home and 88 per cent of those who walk to work caught a cold last winter). If you need to go someplace crowded, the CDC says, try to spend as little time as possible and try to stay six feet away from potentially infected people. Wearing a surgical or dental facemask - cleared by the FDA as a medical device - " can help prevent some exposures, " the CDC says, but they're not foolproof. 11.* Be Alert -- i.e. Recognize the Symptoms and Get Help.* Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu: Fever, body aches, sore throat, cough, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. If you don't feel well, seek medical attention. So far, it's important to note, this swine flu is treatable (and absolutely survivable). It's resistant to two of four antiviral drugs approved for combating the flu: Symmetrel and Flumadine. But two newer antivirals - Tamiflu and Relenza - appear to work. 12. Prevention and treatments colds and flu: 1. Vitamin D-3 5000 units/day. 2. Olive Leaf Extract. ( I take 500mg/day during the winter--no colds) (this is antiviral) (from health food stores) 3. Vitamin C 9000 mg/day. 4. Zinc lozenges every two hours (Coldeze is not as good as zinc) 5 For cough: honey and milk 6. Chicken soup. 7. Green tea. 8. Resveratrol 13. For Flu, add: Oscilioccinum I follow the above and did not get a single cold last winter. Hope you will be alive in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
